Honestly, this is not a technical issue but rather a communication and “positive non-narcissistic persuasion” one. I think I’m a meh to ok designer and an ok frontend webdev, but my strongest selling point is communication, with clients praising that aspect of my work more often than I would have ever expected. Designers might care about pixel perfection, but their bosses rarely do. If you have engaging, respectful, data-driven, and business-oriented points to make and you communicate them clearly and effectively, you’ll be surprised how many times you can change someone’s mind. Even designers’ minds, because they don’t live in a vacuum and they know that shipping is relevant to their own interests. Tl;dr invest in effective communication skills as much as you would invest in more technical knowledge.
